Fungal infection on the leg, the second name of onychomycosis disease, is considered a fairly common disease.
Despite the fact that it is difficult to get infected, it is quite difficult to remove it due to frequent recurrence.Therefore, after some unsuccessful efforts to treat, the question raises the treatment of nail mushrooms to forget it forever.
Practice shows that complex therapy brings good effect, including drugs and treatment with folk remedies at home.
How to spread fungal infection
The basis of all fungal diseases is an infectious nature, caused by pathogens.The favorable areas for her are usually leather and nails.In most cases, infection occurs when exposed.
A healthy person infection caused by Onhychimicosis occurs when ignoring simple personal hygiene rules:
- The presence in public places (swimming pool, gym, beach) without shoes;
- Used with the people wearing onichimicosis, towels, shoes and everything;
- Handling nails with nail accessories without preliminary disinfection.
The favorable conditions for the further growth of pathogenic microorganisms are increasing moisture.This may be like a wet environment in a bath, swimming pool and on the beach, so increasing the sweat of the legs when wearing socks, socks and shoes.
We press the alarm!
A type of mushroom mushroom, stable on the nail, can easily cause many grief and trouble for any of us.Despite the fact that infections on spreading tissues, but not too fast, however, a gradual change in the shape of the nail leads to loss of its normal appearance, and in some cases even causing pain.
With the presence of the following signs, it is extremely important to have an expert advice:
- The nail begins to lose its natural gloss and change color.After exposure to mushrooms, it can become muddy white, yellow brown or gray;
- Nails lose natural shape and begin to thicken, break or exfoliate;
- The formation of axial hyperkeratosis (accumulating keratin foundation under the plate);
- inflammation of the nail;
- Unpleasant smell.
We see a doctor
Devils the first signs of fungal infections, seeing the doctor immediately and does not expect a miracle.The disease itself will not disappear and when tightening it can affect healthy areas, causing allergic reactions and reducing the body's immune function.In addition, transforming the disease into chronic form is difficult to treat and causes regular relapse.
Should accept advice from a monitoring specialist about such diseases.The doctor not only conducts a check, but also takes diagnostic measures.In the process of checking, the thickness and structure of the foundation is determined, the tissue scratches are done for further analysis, which will determine the type of mushroom and prescription for the necessary treatment.
Do not buy drugs and use it without prescribing doctors, because some of them are completely ineffective for some types of fungal infections.And time lost will only worsen the process of the disease.
As a help, you can try to use folk remedies at home.But I want to say right away that a greater effect from them can only be collected in combination with medical drugs.
Treatment outside treatment
Local therapy for occhimicosis in the middle and late stage is considered less effective, because the maximum effect of the active ingredients only fall into the surface of the foundation.But under the nails and inside, as well as in the box and matrix, these drugs do not penetrate and therefore have no chance to combat infections.
Local treatment at home will only be effective if:
- The disease is in the early stages:
- Mushrooms beat less than half of the foundation;
- Sub -Gear hyperkeratosis;
- Not more than 2 nails are affected on the legs.
Before dealing with antifungal compounds, the removal of a part of the affected foundation horn structure is specified.Different drops, ointments and varnishes can be used for treatment.
Medication
If external drugs have no necessary effects and fungal infections continue to progress, the doctor will be prescribed system therapy, related to the appointment of stronger products.
Antivirus system is prescribed in the following cases:
- The disease is in the late stages;
- Most of the nails are affected;
- a strong form of hypertension or onicholysis;
- Diabetes;
- The patient is over 50 years old.
Laser therapy

Laser therapy received well.This is one of the few treatments for guaranteed results.
Laser treatment is completely painless, so it does not require anesthetic use.Its advantages include the lack of side effects present when using tablet drugs.
The treatment of the foundation is done by penetrating the laser infrared spectrum.Before the procedure, the patient steamed into the soda bath for 20 minutes, cleaning the affected area on the nail.Laser treatment process is from 6-10 procedures.
The disadvantage of therapy is the lack of instantaneous results.It can only be found after 2-3 months.
The effectiveness of the effect after laser treatment can be achieved when combined with drug treatment or replacing them with folk remedies at home.
The cost of laser therapy depends on the area of damage to the foundation.
